benecaster_powerpress_episode_imported
Fires after each draft episode is created from a PowerPress post. The draft episode and all mappable meta fields — title, description, audio URL, episode number, season, artwork, publish date, and explicit flag — are already set when this hook fires. Use it to populate additional fields the importer does not map automatically, trigger external actions, or modify the draft before the podcaster reviews it.
This hook does not fire for posts skipped because they were already imported in a previous run. The $pp_post parameter provides the original PowerPress post object so you can read any PowerPress-specific meta directly from it.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
$episode_id |
int |
— | ID of the created Benecaster draft episode post |
$show_id |
int |
— | ID of the show |
$pp_post |
\WP_Post |
— | The original PowerPress WP_Post object that was imported |
Examples
Copy PowerPress meta to Benecaster custom field
add_action( 'benecaster_powerpress_episode_imported', function ( int $episode_id, int $show_id, \WP_Post $pp_post ): void {
$keywords = get_post_meta( $pp_post->ID, 'powerpress_keywords', true );
if ( $keywords ) {
update_post_meta( $episode_id, '_benecaster_episode_keywords', $keywords );
}
}, 10, 3 );Notes
Each PowerPress post is tracked by its source GUID, so imports are safe to re-run. Posts already imported in a previous run increment the skipped count and do not trigger this hook.
